'African-American science fiction authors are still in the beginning stages in many ways'
"The book's about what happens to David Hunter, the son of a famous author, who inherits millions after his father's death, yet realizes he never knew who he was. He moves to his father's home in Mason's Corner, Mississippi, and then discovers his father came from a line of vampire hunters, and he's the final survivor. It takes a science fiction staple and places it in a town that's 98 percent African-American. It depicts African-Americans as heroes, while still utilizing the familiar elements of science fiction, mystery, suspense and horror."
| That's a quote from "Dark Corner" author Brandon Massey in Ron Wynn's Nashville City Paper article "Science fiction author takes genre into new directions"
